jquery.form gives errors with to much text

Question

so i have form that I am submitting via jQuery form's ajaxSubmit it was working fine until I tried to put in text that is over 5100 characters long any idea why this would be a problem ?

this is what shows up in the error console

Error: no element found Source File: https://myebsite/ Line: 1

and this is that line

ok I found the problem but I don't understand why the name of the field was "summary" if I change it to anything else the problem goes away

New Edit

well this gets stranger changing the name only works until I save my js file then it breaks again. also I Can't post this

Answer 1

It depends whether you're POSTing or GETing the form data.

Although there are no defined limits to a GET query your browser will perhaps set a limit and your server may not be able to handle something too large. Take a look at Is there a limit to the length of a GET request? for more info.

If you're POSTing then it's more than likely to be a configuration problem on the server. Depending on what server software you're using you might be able to find a setting somewhere that allows users to POST larger amounts of data.

eg. In PHP you can set the post_max_size = 8M line in your php.ini file

Answer 2

it turns out this was not related to jquery or the form plugin at all. The cause was a problem in my php related to a regex issue answered here in this post
